Chapter 102: Two Heavens of Sadness and Joy

The army in the bright moon.

Geng Zhong suddenly shouted in surprise: "It's moving, the two divisions of the Guanghui Empire Army are really pressing forward. The Governor is really predictable, haha."

"hehe."

Situ Rui nodded slightly and smiled twice, but soon, the smile on Situ Rui's face froze and his face gradually became solemn. Geng Zhong next to him jumped his head and couldn't help but exclaim when he looked back at the battlefield.

Situ Rui said in a deep voice: "Geng Zhong, do you see it too?"

"I can see it." Geng Zhong said with a heavy emphasis, "The Glorious Imperial Army seems to be shrinking."

"Yes, they are shrinking." Situ Rui frowned, "It seems that they are planning to shrink into a circular defensive array and are ready to fight us to the end. I heard that Meng Yan is a top student at the Royal Military Academy of the Glorious Empire in the past century, and now he doesn't seem to be a fictional reputation."

Geng Zhong frowned and said, "Governor General, if you really want to shrink the Guanghui Empire Army into a round turtle shell formation, even if Qin She's heavy armored cavalry arrives, we may not be able to knock it out. We cannot really fight the Guanghui Empire Army to the end here. After all, the four divisions of Zheng Chongguang are less than 300 miles away from Xiling. If he knows the news here, this guy will definitely take advantage of the situation to go south. This is a bit troublesome."

Situ Rui didn't say anything, but just looked up at the sky, then turned his gaze to the vast wilderness in the north.

Although the Glorious Empire Army is shrinking its formation, it is an army of more than 100,000. Under the entanglement of the Mingyue Empire Army, it is impossible to shrink into a group in a short period of time. Situ Rui estimated that it would take at least two hours for the Glorious Empire Army to shrink into a circular defensive formation. Now we will wait for the Scythe Knights to come on the field.

As long as the Scythe Knights can arrive within two hours, there will be no suspense in this battle.

If the Knights of Scythe cannot arrive within two hours, this battle will be a tough battle.

Situ Rui was not worried about any accidents in the Scythe Knights, but he was worried that the Scythe Knights could not arrive in time because the sudden contraction of the Glorious Empire Army was an accident. Even Situ Rui did not expect that Meng Yan would take this bad move. Condensing into a circular defensive formation can certainly enhance its defense, but it also brought the Guards into a desperate situation.

On the battlefield, if you are desperate, the side at a disadvantage will never shrink into a group, because shrinking into a group means giving up the initiative of the entire battlefield to the opponent. The opponent will attack as much as you want, attack whenever you want, and attack from which direction you want. The side that shrinks into a group will be completely in a desperate situation of being passively beaten.

A wise man will make a mistake if he has a thousand thoughts.

It was this accident that caused Situ Rui's original careful plan to have a small mistake. If the Scythe Knights could arrive in time, then these small mistakes would be nothing. If the Scythe Knights could not arrive in time, then these small mistakes would cause big trouble, which directly determines the victory or defeat of the Battle of Daughter River, and then determines the victory or defeat of this Eastern Expedition.

Before he knew it, Situ Rui had already clenched the guardrail of the chariot with his dry hands, and blue veins were raised on his palms like dead tree bark. Although his face still maintained a calmness without changing color on his face, and his eyes were as calm as ever, he was actually very nervous!

Situ Rui had no choice but to be nervous. He fought all his life, made great achievements in the empire, and earned the reputation of being an invincible general for himself. However, it inevitably brought him a heavy psychological burden. The title of invincible general was both an honor and a shackle for Situ Rui.

Geng Zhong seemed to have realized something, looked up at the northern wasteland, and said in a narrow voice: "Look at the sky, Qin She's Scythe Knights should have arrived at this time..."

“Woo woo woo woo…”

As Geng Zhong finished speaking, a long and distant horn sound suddenly sounded on the northern wasteland. Then a big flag emerged from the thin mist. The black flag was embroidered with a bright moon, and two white death scythes interlaced in the center of the full moon in a cross!

"Scythe Knights!" Geng Zhong suddenly looked loud and shouted in vain, "Governor General, it is Qin She's Scythe Knights. The Scythe Knights have arrived. We have won this battle, and we will definitely win, hahaha..."

"call……"

Situ Rui breathed a long sigh, and his frown finally stretched out. His hands, which had originally held the guardrail of the chariot, quietly released. No one noticed that two wet marks had been left on the guardrail of the chariot that Situ Rui held with both hands, were wet. It was the cold sweat in Situ Rui's heart.

Glorious Central Army.

Hearing the sudden sound of horns, Meng Yan, who was watching the battle on the chariot, Shi Miyuan and Pu Sanzhi turned around at the same time, and then their faces changed drastically.

"This is……"

Park Sanzhi took a breath of air conditioning and hissed, "The flag of the Scythe Knights!?"

Shi Miyuan's face was also gray, and the iron-like facts were placed in front of him. The full moon, the interlaced Death Scythe, what was the flag of the Scythe Knights?

"Damn it."

Meng Yan's forehead had already had a cold sweat as big as a bean, and he said tremblingly, "How could the Scythe Knights be here? Could it be that bastard Situ Hao is also here?"

Only a very small number of people know about the existence of the Knights of Scythe.

Apart from the captured Western Legion, Meng Hu only knew the existence of the Scythe Knights. Meng Hu did not report the situation he knew to the imperial capital. In fact, there were many situations. Meng Hu did not report to the imperial capital truthfully because Meng Hu never regarded himself as a hawk or dog lackey of the glorious empire.

So Meng Yan and the others had no idea about the existence of the Scythe Knights.

Suddenly, a young man with a majestic figure appeared in front of Meng Yan, wearing dark black armor, a riding black cloud covered with snow with four hooves, and a black iron spear three feet long. Meng Yan will never forget the public competition with Situ Hao in Xijing Square when he was on the Mingyue Empire last time he went to the Mingyue Empire!

Meng Yan was possessed of martial arts, but he was defeated by Situ Hao, and he was defeated miserably.

After that battle, Meng Yan left a shadow in his heart. He could not drive away his inner demons and did not improve his martial arts. Over the years, Meng Yan's martial arts have been standing still. The master told him that if he wants to further his martial arts, he must overcome the demonic obstacles in his heart. Meng Yan's demonic obstacles are Situ Hao!

"Your Highness, you're in trouble now."

Park Sanzhi said tragically, "The formation of the Guards Legion has begun to shrink but has not been completed. It is the time when the side and rear defense is the most empty. But the Scythe Knights appeared on our side and back at this time. As long as they rushed forward, our formation will be completely messed up. What should I do? What should I do now?"

At this moment, more and more heavily armored iron cavalry rushed out from the thin mist.

“Huh…”

Shi Miyuan, who was rubbing sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, suddenly exclaimed in surprise and said in a lost voice, "No, the situation is a bit wrong. The Scythe Knights look a little embarrassed, and the formation is also very chaotic. It is not an assault formation at all. Looks like someone is chasing her butt and escaping!"

At the end, even Shi Miyuan was shocked by his own speculation.

Meng Yan and Pu Sanzhi next to him even doubted whether there was something wrong with their ears. The Scythe Knights are heavy armored iron cavalry. What is the heavy armored iron cavalry? It is the king of land warfare. Which army can defeat the heavy armored iron cavalry in the Middle Earth world? Which army can defeat the Scythe Knights like a dog that is a broken family and flee?

The army in the bright moon.

Situ Rui and Geng Zhong have also discovered the abnormality of the Scythe Knights.

Geng Zhong couldn't believe his eyes and said in a silence: "Governor General, the situation is wrong. General Qin She's Scythe Knights' Scythe Knights seemed to have been driven away."

Situ Rui still didn't say anything, but his hands had already tightened the guardrail of the chariot again, and blue veins were raised on the back of his hand like a dead tree bark.

"Xilulu..."

As Geng Zhong finished speaking, a black horse almost bit the butt of the sickle Knights and rushed out of the thin mist. When he saw the fierce battle on this side, the knight on the horse seemed to be surprised, and quickly stretched out his hand and pulled the reins. The horse under his crotch stood up and raised his head and made a loud and suffocating neigh.

"broken!"

Seeing the sudden appearance of dark clouds and snow, Situ Rui and Geng Zhong paused in their hearts at the same time.

Situ Rui's heart began to churn violently. Meng Hu, this Meng Hu again, why is it this bastard every time? Is this guy destined to be the lingering cloud covering the sky above the empire?

Glorious Central Army.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the dark clouds and snow on the rider and the super-long black iron spear in the knight's hand, Meng Yan's face suddenly changed, and his hands holding the guardrail of the chariot began to tremble uncontrollably.

Although three years have passed, Meng Yan felt that it happened yesterday. Meng Yan even clearly remembered that when Situ Hao used the tip of the black iron spear to force his throat, the cold and coldness that came out of the tip of the spear was that he would never forget the feeling in his life.

Meng Yan gave himself psychological hints more than once that he would never retreat when facing Situ Hao again, and he would bravely challenge his inner demons, but at this moment, Meng Yan found desperately that he did not have the courage at all.

As Meng Yan looked at him with horror, "Situ Hao" in the distance raised the black iron spear in his hand and led forward. Countless light cavalry had already surged out of the mist behind him, chasing the butt of the Scythe Knights. Meng Yan saw it clearly that the group of light cavalry that suddenly appeared was actually chasing the Scythe Knights. In this moment, more than a dozen heavy armored iron cavalry that were behind him had fallen backwards from the horses...

"This is……"

"How is this possible?"
